CHARLOTTE — If you’re flying with cash, police can take it without ever having to prove you did something wrong.
Action 9 investigator Jason Stoogenke says it’s happening regularly at airports across the country, including at Charlotte Douglas.
Brian Moore Jr. was flying from Atlanta to Los Angeles to shoot a music video.
“I had about $8,500 on me,” Moore said.
